Safety and Health Requirements Related to Camp Cars

This collection of information is mandatory under 49 CFR Part 228. The information collected under this regulation is used by FRA to ensure that the affected railroad still using camp cars-- Norfolk Southern -- protects the health and safety of its camp car occupants by fully complying with the requirements stipulated under Part 228. Both reporting and record keeping information, including training information, is collected on occasional basis under this regulation. FRA estimates that there is one Class I railroad (Norfolk Southern) that may choose to use camp cars in the three-year period covered by this ICR. That estimate is unchanged from the last ICR submitted to OMB in 2021. Since March 2020, no railroads have used camp cars. However, camp cars were used by one railroad before the COVID-19 pandemic led to discontinuation of their use and it is possible the same railroad or another railroad may decide to again use camp cars in the next three years.
